"Well Worth the Visit"

Reviewed September 09, 2025 NEW

We came here primarily to see the Auschwitz exhibition, but came a couple of hours before our reserved slot to see the rest of the museum. The displays are really outstanding. Many taxidermy examples of wildlife from mammals to birds and underwater life. There is a bat cave, but we did not manage to see any of them (just as well?). In addition to natural history there are also large collections of ancient art. We also loved the gemstones--a really large display. The exhibition was very good but also way too crowded even though there were timed entries. We were told to expect about 1 hour to get through the exhibition and it took 2.5 due to the crowds. The Auschwitz exhibition has left already, but I wonder if this problem exists when there are other special exhibitions.

"Crowded chaos"

Reviewed September 01, 2025 NEW

I have been going to the ROM for many years, but I have never seen such chaos and overcrowding as I did last week. The Holocaust exhibition was well attended (a good thing), but so crowded (although timed) that all the people with audio devices really slowed down the progress through the exhibits and totally blocked anyone wanting to look more closely at the artifacts in cases or even on the wall. It was a challenge to get to see anything at my own pace. Why does the ROM allow backpacks? Is it a lack of staffing? This is not usual for other museums/galleries and definitely makes for unwanted encounters. Not everything in the museum on pedestals is behind glass, so I wonder how often sculpture, etc. gets damaged. I talked to people in wheel chairs who were frustrated with the situation involving elevators, and even when I used one a couple of times, the strollers were overwhelming. Doesn't anybody have smaller strollers now, which is more appropriate for galleries and museums. The ROM in general was more like a sports centre than a reflective museum: children were running around and having more fun wrestling with each other than enjoying the galleries. I will make sure that I do try for a more quiet time of the year when I go again.
